|
 |
Hi , I have a flashed xbox 360 with Ixtreme 1.2 and I was wondering if it's safe for me to go on xbox live and play gta4 online?
I know that you play xbox live on your own risk. Has anyone of you guys been banned because of playing GTA 4 on xbox live?
I'v had my xbox 360 with Ixtreme 1.2 for a year now and I'm not banned.

Well - I can't say for sure, but nobody i know of. However, when you get banned most of the time they don't actually give you a reason.
Edit:
Or let you know specifically what game got you caught.

Use the latest firmware if you are willing to take the risk. I'd ugrade as soon as possible, the old firmwares will sometimes send a bad check even if you have a original game. So even then you might get banned. Everyone says it's safe with the new FW now, but who knows. No one can guarantee it, you'll have to risk it or buy it.

well they only check on what speed each game played and thats it , just clean your change in maintenance mode every few days when you go to live and you are set , or make two profiles , one for originals and the other for warezed versions

How did you figure that out? No one knows what exactly they are checking, it's always a gamble.

come one its easy , every xbox360 game that uses HDD uses cache to speed up the downloading process , the first consoles where banned because every cache has a serial+read speed with the old Xtreme , the new Ixtreme has still cache but its now stealth with the original key but still you flash to a specific read speed 4x 8x or 12x and this crates a warning sign when live checks .
The banning started when people started playing CrackDown Beta and the shit hit the fan with cache keys , now you are stealth your key is safe from this pesky cache BUT still they ban people , why/how well there are two reasons :
1.Bad copy that leaks the real key to the cache and it to live when you connect , but even when you play bad copies you can be safe because you can clean you cache with the maintenance mode that normal people should not know :
System Blade >Memory>pick a HDD or Memcard> press Y > X , X , LB , RB , X , X on the rename button , this deletes your unsafe cache
2.Cache storing read speeds , do the MM and your safe

More profiles doesnt help , they ban the box not the profile. Also no one knows 100% all the criteria that MS check for.

Why would you have a choice of read speeds with Iextreme then ? What if you have a very bad scratched disc ?

I have 1 profile for SinglePlayer games and 1 profile that's for live games.
The SinglePlayer profile is not connected to xbox live so they cant get data from it.

Why do people keep saying that 1.4 is the latest stealth, no it isn't it's 1.41 and it does contain a fix that could be crucial: (v1.41) Read Sector fix
(v1.41) 8x firmware dashboard speed fix

that fix was only for benq drives.
@live banning
nobody knows how or what they realy ban @ m$. all you can see from the live logs over at xbins is that they did not change the checking lately.
so everything should be safe. plus when i see that m$ is producing new drives (unflashable for now) again... that could be hint that they cant ban the old ones properly.
but who knows ...

I think that fix is only crucial for speeds less then 12x from what i understood anyways.
